METHOD OF PRODUCING INTERLININGS.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX REcHER, a citizen of Switzerland, residing at Browns Mills, Burlington County, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Producing Interlinings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to fabric linings and in particular to interlinings for neck- Wear and the like.

A particular object of the invention is to provide a lining the weft of which is made from an animal instead of a vegetable fiber so that the lining will hold its shape and when tied will not crease or wrinkle.

A further object is to produce a lining having a hair weft which will give to the material resiliency and elasticity and will also make the material more pliable.

A still further object is to produce a lining which will be napped on one side to produce a cushion and clinging effect for the tie material such as silk, and which will be rubberized to prevent unraveling of the material when the same is cut straight or on the bias; this rubberizing giving to the lining a more resilient and elastic effect, and being applied in a thin coacting so that ironing of the tie will not affect the same.

In forming my improved interlining, I employ a warp of either cotton, Wool or goathair yarns in single or double counts, while the weft is of cotton, wool, goathair 85 or human hair yarn in single or double counts, it being understood of course, that any particular combination of warp and weft maybe used which will embody in b correct proportion a sufficient amount of hair to impart to the material the desired resiliency and elasticity which is necessary in order to prevent the lining from Wrinkling or creasing and remaining in such undesirable position.

The woven material is then a wet pr dry finishing, after which it is nappedon one side. This napping process is carried out in the usual manner with wire brushing elements which engage the weave and make the naps thereof stand out. This nap provides a cushioning efiect for the tie 45 subjected to Application filed July 19,

material so that the same will be soft to the touch and it also prevents relative shifting of the tie material and the lining so thatthe latter will not become displaced and give the tie edges an uneven appearance.

After the napping process the lining material is given a thincoating of rubber .on one side; it impregnates the fabric and imparts thereto an elastic and resilient quality which is most desirable in preventing wrinkling and creasing. This also reduces the harshness of the material and renders it more pliable.

. The hair weft will resilient and will also prevent it from getting out of shape, as the hair will always tend to straighten out after being folded or creased, as in the forming of a tie bow hav ing my improved interlining.

A necktie having a lining made from my improved material will hold its shape, will make a firmer knot when tied and the creases and folds occasioned by the knotting will not be permanent, as the rubberizing of the fabric and the embodying of hair therein will straighten out the lining and consequently the tie material.

render the lining Although I have described my improved lining fabric as being specially adaptable for use in connection with neckties, it will be understood that it may be utilized with great advantage for various other purposes.

Having described my invention what I claim is:

1. A lining fabric having a hair weft and a cotton warp, one side of the fabric being napped and the other side being ruberized.

2. A lining fabric consisting of a weft of animal fibre and a warp of vegetable fibre, one side of the fabric being napped and the opposite side of the fabric being rubberized.

3. A lining fabric consisting of an animal fibre weft and a vegetable fibre warp one side. of the fabric being napped whereby both the weft and the warp will compose the nap and the opposite side of the fabric being rubberized of a thin coating of rubber.
